Kick the Bottle
During a participation cooking class last week, a student opened the refrigerator and stared at the condiment bottles in the door. "May I help you find something?" I asked. "Where's the lemon juice?" she asked. I opened the vegetable drawer and pulled out a fresh lemon. "You have GOT to be kidding!" she answered. Some ...

Getting new stoves and ovens is like getting a brand-new kitchen! We have four new Dacor ovens and two new stovetops, each with six burners. We've added two extra burners to our Herb kitchen. The new Dacor ovens feature a glass bottom which protects the bottom heating element from drips and ...

The Cookie Club: What Can Brownies Do For You
What makes a brownie delicious? 1. Good butter. We are not eating salad or diet food, but luxuriously decadent sweets. Every bite should fill the mouth with the taste of delicious butter. Plugra unsalted butter is my favorite. (Kitchen Conservatory sells Plugra at our store in Clayton.) 2. Good chocolate. If you ...

The Cookie Club: Nuts About Peanuts
To be an American is to love peanut butter (just as to be a European is to love Nutella). Although peanut butter is very nutritious, we love peanut butter because it is sweet and creamy and tastes more like dessert, especially when paired with jelly. Peanut butter cookies have been successfully ...

The Cookie Club: Greek Treats
Greek cuisine is so much more than feta and filo. And Greek desserts are not just baklava! This almond-butter-fruit cookie is a Greek family favorite from our resident expert on all things Greek, Maria Sakellariou. Maria, who grew up in Greece and a part of her family's restaurant, now has a ...

Chow Down on Chowder
When a soup is called a chowder, it is usually thick and chunky. Chowders may contain fish or shellfish or potato or cream or corn or tomatoes. One ingredient, though, is essential for making a chowder: bacon or cured pork. Since different styles of chowders can be made, it is ...

The Cookie Club: Chocolate-Raspberry Linzer Tarts
Linzer pastry, which originated in Linz, Austria, is a short, very buttery dough made with ground nuts and filled with fruit jam. Traditionally, linzertortes are made with hazelnuts, but other nuts are also delicious: almonds, pecans, or walnuts. Chocolate is not a traditional ingredient in linzer, but why not gild ...

A Delicious Location
8021 Clayton Road opened in 1949 as Pfeifer's Party Pastries. For fifty years, the kitchen there produced many, many delicious breads, cakes, cookies, and other pastries. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch features a lovely look-back at the history of the bakery and the Pfeifer family. Kitchen Conservatory succeeded the bakery at 8021 ...

The Cookie Club: Pecan Bars
I made these pecan bars for a party and a friend asked me for the recipe. Later, I asked her how they turned out. "I never made them." "Why not, they are so delicious!" I asked. "The recipe was so strange that I was afraid to try them. It seemed like too much butter." Please, don't be ...
